    @toxeek Just to let you know, I am not part of the core MagicMirror team and my answer is based on my personal interpretation of the situation.

    I wish you every success! 🚀 I would find it interesting if you could tell us about your project later.

    @interman I am not aware of any particular solutions.

    I am into the mechanics, not the ui. couldn’t make a pretty ui if I tried (and I have a few dozen times)

    I sent the oracal back (very expensive stuff) as I could get much cheaper and darker stuff from our local hardware store.
    So I got the back covered with it, and then cut holes in it for the LED lights and monitor, it seems to work very well.

    @WendyColbert this looks like a garbage post (your two)… what does ‘site’ mean? and who are the ‘professionals’

    we are all volunteer here, and no one is available (generally) work for hire…

    Maybe I am confused. I thought this was a discourse forum. I was suggesting using the same plugin to make a gallery from the “show me your mirror” section. It would be nice to be able to browse that section with a chosen image from each post with the title of the post.

    @velkrosmaak
    I also use motion to detect and then stream the video via to the MM via MMM_SmartWebDisplay

    In the motion config file (/etc/motion) search for

    ’ # Command to be executed when an event starts. (default: none)
    '# An event starts at first motion detected after a period of no motion defined by event_gap
    '# on_event_start value
    '# Show iFrame in MagicMirror
    on_event_start /etc/motion/notifyOn_MM.sh

    '# Command to be executed when an event ends after a period of no motion
    '# (default: none). The period of no motion is defined by option event_gap.
    '# on_event_end value
    '# Hide iFrame on MagicMirror
    on_event_end /etc/motion/notifyOff_MM.sh

    and the scripts could look like:

    '# Show SmartWebDisplay in MagicMirror (iFrame no longer supported in MM 2.7.1)
    curl --no-verbose http://:8080/remote?action=SHOW"&"module=module_10_MMM-SmartWebDisplay

    @wishmaster270 I used to try the forced armv7l approach, but had failures in other areas as the versions of node increased.

    u can see the code commented out in the script.

    I finally gave up and implemented the script to launch chromium over the server as the only reliable approach.

    Most monitors are IPS panels while most TV’s are VA panels. IPS has wider viewing angles with consistent color. The VA panels have better refresh rates for motion (which is not commonly needed for something like a mirror).

    TV’s can be an easy choice because they can be much more available and a remote could be useful. A monitor will generally make for a preferred screen by having better viewing angles and being lighter overall.

    @navneetjain - First, it really depends on what country you’re in. In the USA, you can sell off a mirror that you’ve made for yourself, but you can’t turn it into a business selling the mirrors. The reasons involve the patent on the method of displaying information through a sheet of one way glass. Mich looked into it a few years ago and decided that the licensing the patent from the company that owns it wasn’t worth it.

    Of course, the above advice is highly depended upon how your company enforces patent infringement. I am not a lawyer and would recommend seeking a good one before starting a business selling the mirrors.
